Doctors typcially recommend you avoid lunchmeat because of the chance of listeria. It is a bacteria that can be harmful to you and baby. Actually about a month ago Walmart recalled a bunch of lunchmeat/sandwiches for this exact reason! Warming the lunchmeat can help kill the bacteria. With my first pregnancy I remember them telling me to avoid it especially in the first trimester and closer to the end of the pregnancy you could have it every so often but not frequently. I think it depends on your doctor.

I'm in the UK and we don't get so many rules. Basically we can have anything except alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, caffeine, unpasturized dairy produce, tuna more than twice a week, raw fish like sushi and oysters and well, that's it!

I have cravings like that and I give in to them. O have a sandwich maybe twice a month? I don't like all these newer rules that come out. I'd like to see the actual statistics on listeria and pregnant women. I'm pretty sure our moms ate sandwiches.

Was the walmart recall publicized? We shop there allthe time but I've only heard it mentioned here.

I heard about the walmart recall on the radio when driving to work in the morning (a few weeks ago). I am not sure how many stores it affected, but it could have been just in my area which is why I heard it on the radio.

I pretty much wait til after the first trimester and than give into the cravings :)

I was sitting next to my friend the other day whos 7 months, and she pulled out a baggy of salami and cheese. Her weakness she says. Shes been eating it her whole pregnancy. I get sandwiches every now and then. I only get them from sandwich places though like Subway or Quiznos. I figure they go through their meat so fast that it doesn't sit very long. I dont buy lunch meat from the store and make it myself because I let it sit in my fridge too long, which is where you get into trouble. The listeria just causes you to get sick, like food poisoning. They just fear if you get sick and get dehydrated it can have a negative effect on you and eventually the baby. A sandwich now and then is not going to hurt anything....

When I was pregnnat w/ DD that is ALL I wanted. I banned DH from eating them and he was very nice about it. Until one night..... He went out drinking w/ his friends and figured that since I would be asleep when he got home it was a perfect time to eat his sub. He was right - but what he failed to realize is that I had super sonic pregnant sense of smell and (I kid you not) the smell of the sub woke me up and I came downstairs to see if my sniffer was correct. He still talked about that now!!!!

Warm lunchmeat it only good if you do it heat it early and then let the meat cool again before eating it. I use to do this before I went to the beach.
